Sam Churchill, dailywireless.org, has compiled some graphs and rankings on the current wired and wireless states of the world from a Forbes article.

Net Effect I logged on late to the live-streamed event, Internet Advocacy Roundtable: The Future of Emailing Congress - New Solutions Offered and Old Myths Busted, hosted by the Center for American Progress Action Fund.

Daniel cleared up some misunderstandings and myths in Internet Communications between Congress and constituents.
